Will there be any help articles and files on how to create calculations in the Gradebook in Ultra Experience? Right now, it's confusing to create calculations.

Will there be more articles on how the Gradebook works in Ultra? Will there be help on how to create calculations? Exporting the Gradebook to a file, like a spreadsheet and the ability to upload would be great. Having the weighted columns already built out would be most ideal.

Hi, Angel. Your feedback is not uncommon. The users I've spoken with who create many complex calculations really like what we've done in the Ultra grade book, but we recognize that it is more than most users will need. One approach we're considering is to create a set of simple, common, pre-configured calculations that educators could choose from that would require little to no set up. Things like simple weighted categories, sums, averages, etc. Would you find that useful?

I do expect that we'll include some form of export/import in the future as well.

Yes, we have a lot of faculty that use the weighted column feature in the GradeCenter. That would be very helpful to have averages and sums as well. We also have faculty that like to export and import their GradeCenter.

That would be incredibly helpful! Several of our instructors have difficulty creating their calculation formulas and love the weighted categories like the original view has now. It was such a blessing to have it so simple after Vista's grade book calculations. I agree with Angel that the export/import function is a definite necessity! Our faculty are required to keep the grade books for 5 years while we only keep their courses in BB for 1 year, and they have the ability to upload the csv into our SIS.
